TAIJI DEMO AT JAPANESE EMBASSY TODAY

The sky reflected the sullenness

that all of us felt today

this was the day the Japanese

were preparing to display

their vile techniques for torture

and capture  dolphins who

would end up torn to pieces

for that’s what, the fishermen do

pod loads of sweet innocents

frightened out of their mind

herded into small corrals

hoping they might find

an albino or some pretty ones

for aqua parks who pay

the rest chopped up like carrion

when the vultures fly away

all the gang  were on the scene

faces we all knew

the chanting was incessant

its what we have to do

silence isn’t golden

outside an embassy

you need them to be wary

of the noise

to let them see

the warriors are unhappy

they hate the killings and

Taiji is the infamous place

where murders are now planned

thousands are killed each season

intelligent innocent souls

lost in bubbles of trouble

all losing their controls

vociferous voices rose and fell

over the London streets

“shame shame shame on Japan!

all with lots of beats

resentment it was growing

as the boats set out to find

pods of darling dolphins

they wanted to break their mind

at times the noise was deafening

on other times we sang

recited bits of poetry

and some drama

it just rang

skywards sideways all ways

it must have made them feel

nauseous at the very least

for our passion it was real

we all took it in turns to

raise the anti

lead the chanters help them to maintain

momentum in the chanting stakes

it rolls along

like baking cakes

and everyone helped

so nothing went wrong

we share the love of dolphins

its our passion

the nation as a whole

provides a key

they save so many wayward people

lost in ocean drama’s

to murder them in cold blood

frantically

goes against the grain

its all but proper

slaughtering the innocent parties

says

there no excuse for animals abuse

not ever

and once they are dead and dying

then no prayers

will ever change the scenario

for certain

and so we battle on us band of souls

the vendetta against the fishermen

is full of animosity

bitterness and rancour

and control

Robert led the charge as did some  others

the fog horns took the ears out if you were near

a lot of aching joints

and yes our ear drums

and possibly a hundred humps of fear

there is no doubt anyone in a earshot of us

now has heard of Taiji it rang out

the name it conquered double decker buses

and hefty lorries and without a doubt

we managed to engage the police and security

and keep the whole thing

light hearted and true

yes we had a go at the terrible torture

but kept the spirit high

in fact all through

drama showed its head

and pangs of pathos

reflecting on those dolphins in Taiji

probably being led ashore and butchered

and all of us aware of  our despondency

hanging in the air above the building

noticeable and hurting actually

if we could all be there

to voice our protests

be there now in person to exclaim

the murder for financial gain is a sickness

not ever to be forgiven

its all the same

with cries and shouts and tempers

clearly rising

the rigmarole the noise was rising too

disgruntlement and tension

it was out there its was evident

sincerity from us all

was felt all through

the boats may have put out today

all hoping the pods

would be there and their flashing souls

broken by the time

the murmurings did climb

to really  address what would only be fit for trolls

we still kept up the salvos

of resistance

the dolphins out in Taiji

must have heard

the cacophony

it rose unto the heavens

and somewhere someone

hung on every word

too many names to mention

but they all were there

demeanour’s thoroughly satiated too

everyone was tired after this debacle

I sat down really I felt that I had to

lots of photographs were being taken

lets hope they are recorded for all time

and sent away to foreign parts

to influence we hope

and likewise what I am writing

in this rhyme

lots of hooting drivers

give us fuel to carry on

unlike the police on double time

we are there upon

the streets

for peaceful protest

or noisy protest

we

prefer to say

Taiji

it will go on  for certain

but we showed the world

that we

are here to stay

we showed the world

that we will not stop fighting

we showed the world

our spirits are in tact

we showed the world

that this is what the warriors

do

congregate

and prove we can react
